if they think the money came from u they can legally make u sell it , ( the give ya 5 months or a year) but seldom does this happen,.
Buy the land/house and get a registered 30 year lease and your name goes on the back of the land paper and she can not sell or force u out. BUT if the relationship goes belly up she will ask for lots of $$ to allow u to sell it, (happens all the time).
for me, the way things are in this country ur better off renting :-)
"Beach chair consession" ? you mean she has been using the money for other than what was intended?
Asking me for money to sell it would be better than telling me to leave!!!!
I dunno what its like in all your countries but in Ireland if you finish a realationship with a family involved...they get to live in the house and you have to find other accomodation. You would then have to support the family and pay any loans etc...
As soon as we were married (4 Years ago) she became intitled to half of what I have anyway.
Yes, I want to rent and have my name on the chanote but I want my wife to own the land so we have something to leave the children. Like dogcatcher I want to be shure that my children have the land with no contest. I am 42 and want to be able to live there in relative peace without having to look over my shoulder every day.
